A Look Inside a New DOJ Laboratory for Law Enforcement

SLATT Webinar
Understanding the Characteristics and Motivations of U.S. Hate Crime Offenders
Hosted by the State and Local Anti-Terrorism Training (SLATT) Program and funded by the Bureau of Justice Assistance, this webinar will discuss hate crimes in the United States. Hate crimes appear to be on the rise in the United States, and while research on bias crime has grown considerably since the passing of the Hate Crime Statistics Act of 1990, comparatively little has been written about the criminal trajectories and pathways of bias crime offenders. The guest speaker, Dr. Mike Jensen, PhD, Radicalization and Disengagement Portfolio lead of the National Consortium for the Study of Terrorism and Responses to Terrorism (START), will speak to the hate crime trends regarding motivations, target patterns, and risk factors for violent hate crime offenders and mass casualty hate crime offenders.
When: Thursday, June 23, 2022
Time: 1:00 p.m. – 2:00 p.m., ET
NIJ Podcast
The Evidence We Leave Behind (Part Two)
Hosted by the National Institute of Justice (NIJ), this podcast is part two of the two-part series featuring Gregory Dutton, a physical scientist at NIJ, and science writer Jim Dawson. This podcast continues the conversation on the microbiome: what it is, how it applies to forensics, and the evolution of its role in forensic science.
COPS Podcast
Building Law Enforcement Alliances With LGBTQ Communities
Hosted by the Office of Community Oriented Policing Services (COPS), this podcast episode discusses how law enforcement agencies can improve their relationships with lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer (LGBTQ) communities. The existence of LGBTQ liaison officers and units has increased significantly over the last 15 years. However, officers who staff these functions and the services that these units provide too often fall short of meeting the needs of LGTBQ communities. Greg Miraglia, Executive Director of Out To Protect, a partner organization of the COPS Office, joins this podcast to discuss the support his organization provides and how to effectively engage in June Pride Month activities.
